Pierre Frey: Made in France

Pierre Frey invites the viewer to rediscover the French know-how in its factory in France.

April 24th, 2014

Creating a fabric involves several steps and several crafts: the archives, the creative studio, the dyer, the hand screen printer, the weaver, the upholsterer…

La Maison Pierre Frey is one of the rare fabric houses to still produce 70% of its fabrics in France thanks to its own mill, a facility that has been awarded the French Living Heritage designation. Here’s a film about Pierre Frey and what goes on in its factory.

Pierre Frey is carried in Singapore by Romanez.

But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
